Population Explosion!
(1:5, 7) The Israelite population went from 70 (or 75) to several million (Ex.12:37, 38:26, Num.1:45-46) in a few hundred years. ?
I read it in a website,was the website fabricating the truth or is there really a contradiction?

If you are expecting to find truth in religion, you are looking the wrong place. Religions are about imaginary worlds, not the real one.

There are some schools of thought that say that in the Bible, time is relative.
It would seem so, as the modern day calender only came into being around Caesars time.
But it was only after Galilao,that it was really accepted.
They called him a heretic and slung him in jail. Just 'cos he said the world was round,
Also you have to remember, no pill, no constraints, and big families were encouraged.
Work it out 12 times 12 every 20 years. added to the dubious assessment of years.
hope this helps

look at the first Israeli, that is Jacob, who was also named Israel, after fighting an angel, he had 12 sons, and probably 12 daughters, but only one of his daughters is mentioned, that indicated that every generation the Israeli population could increase by a factor of 24 per man, or 6 per woman. now assume there are 3 generations in every century, and the increase in population would be 1750 to 250, assume it's only 500 per century, and if you start with 70 people, you end with 4375 billion.
